Please do not write “Box or P.O. Box.” This additional

Home and DHL. Drivers are not able to enter residence

for pick-up. Students are responsible for bringing their
own packages back to their residence hall.

Residential Education

            At Colby-Sawyer, all students live on campus in
            residence halls or college houses. The Residential
            Education staff has three main goals:

            1. to get to know students and help connect them
               with the right college resources to overcome their
               obstacles and reach their goals.

            2. to work with students to develop residential
               communities that are based on individual
               responsibility and respect for others.

            3. to provide opportunities for student learning
               outside the classroom that contribute to the
               college’s learning outcomes.

            Students are encouraged to visit the “Resources”
            section of the college’s Residential Life web pages for
            more information about Colby-Sawyer’s residency
            requirement, services and policies, opening and
            closing dates, and housing during college break
            periods.

            Renter’s insurance is strongly recommended for
            students living in residence halls, which will cover
            damage to students’ belongings in the case of flood,
            fire or other accidents. There are many providers
            available — two have requested their information
            be shared: GradGuard.com/learnmore and
            worthavegroup.com/product/college-student-insurance.
